Ever since I was a little girl, my mom dressed me in skirts and dresses, and I’ve never strayed from that. I still remember the first school picture day in first grade—while most kids were in casual outfits, I was fully overdressed in a white satin dress with white tights and little open-toe white heels. In fact, many of my closest friends have joked that they’ve never seen me wear pants or jeans. Up until recently, that was because I literally didn’t own a pair. (Recently, I finally ordered a pair of Levi’s 501 ’90s Jeans.)
There’s just something about dresses and skirts that makes me feel the most “me.” Whether I’m pairing them with tights in the fall and winter or wearing them on their own in the spring and summer, they always feel right and are what I feel most comfortable in. Here are the ones that are on my wish list.
